52570 I have no remorse. Ryan Adams was unprepared and his performance was flat-out *unprofessional*! I've sincerely seen better individual performances at open-mike nights. I was on the rail between Phil and Ryan Adams and saw this first-hand. Back in 1999, after Steve Kimock bailed out, Derek Trucks stepped in. He *listened* to his bandmates and made plenty of fine contributions, as I saw five shows on that superb Dylan/Phil tour! No, Derek did not sing, but as a musician, he did all the things that are necessary in ensemble playing that Adams did not have a single clue of. Sorry, guys, but I have no remorse. Easily one of the worst gigs I've ever experienced in over 2000 concerts spanning 27 years. Stay far away from this show! jjwood64 2005-11-19 18:24:03 2005-10-07 23:47:21 1 60321 Give Ryan Adams some credit. His approach may be a bit different than others, but he has a great voice that meshes with this music very well. He sings with a lot of heart and soul and although he may not be as skilled on the guitar, he holds on just fine in the jam sections and adds a very raw element. This music has and always will be all about experimentation and taking chances. Ryan may come from a different musical world than Phil, but this only adds a fresh take on these time tested songs. Cheers to this collaboration, it's a very unique experience. Ryan can sing and play teletravo 2006-01-20 09:16:49 2006-01-20 09:16:49 4 55469 I understand Phil's desire to keep playing, and keep this music alive. That is great. But I also see it as an exercise in nostalgia that will never live up to a fraction of the original. I actually think Ryan does a good job singing. Did anybody pick up on the fact that the song Rosebud is about Jerry/his Guitar of that namesake. Took me a listen or two but the lyrics pretty clearly talk about "Rosebud ship wrecked up on the Ohio behind a wall of glass" (Rock & Roll Hall of fame in Cleveland, Ohio where Rosebud now resides in a glass case). Kinda cool! 7/15/2005 dmilks 2006-03-07 13:34:55 2005-11-14 06:57:36 2 3 2.33
